We'll never get to Oregon now!

Bangkok was pretty crazy. I didn't drive there, though. From what I saw from bus and taxis, it's like a big city where people will squeeze to within a foot of each other and never give an inch. The odd thing is no one gets mad about it, there were very few horns. The Thai people in general are laid back, so they seemed to have the attitude that "yeah, you pushed in and I would have done the same". The main problem there is it's not laid out that well so there's always traffic and there's often not large roads to get places. Tons, and I mean tons of small motorcycles and scooters filter up between the cars to get to the lights (as expected). It's actually the fastest way to travel so there are hordes of scooter taxis where you hop on the back and ride to your destination.

I believe it's spelled Hookt-onn-fonix.

I'm thinking about nabbing tickets to the Flyers game here, but they're still playing well so the tickets aren't dirt cheap. :(

That'd make a really cool tattoo. Also, until the Flappers in the 1920s it was rather risque to show some ankle. I like this direction SS is taking!

So, has anyone been watching Toronto that can give some details on which manner they lost 8 in a row to fall out of the playoffs? Is it injuries or are they playing like every early-season Sabres team?

Bold: why would any prospective QB be short term in that situation, unless they were planning on drafting a new QB high in the draft? :) Second statement: on that, I completely agree. The same could probably be said for Luck if the Bills had the gumption to do what the Colts (or any of the other recent teams that drafted an early QB) did.

So far this season (from what I've heard here), Armia has done very little to play his way onto that list. Maybe he's just adjusting, maybe he never will. Those guys minus Compher have already shown positives in the NHL.

Any of the Bills' revolving door of QBs (I can't be bothered to see which would have been recently cut in the summer of 2012) could have led them to 6-10. Unless you're saying the 10-6 2011 Colts were worse than the Bills in most postions other than QB.

Man, the long 2nd period change in that rink is *tough*.

The Pens were in year 1 of their planned tank, picking a good center may have pushed them out of the last spot for the next year. They had to be bad to get Crosby! :devil:

Complete and utter nonsense sources report that all that's left is for Battista to approve the contract. :devil:

Seems like a pretty reasonable conversation, really. Few are freaking out.

Yeah, I'm kinda with you. That line is just so iconic though, I'm good with it. PLF, maybe, Gare, eh.

FWIW, I've never heard a bad word said about the ND medical school.

So being the worst team still has the same chance of getting the #1 overall? I'm having a tough time figuring out why this would stop teams from trying to be bad in order to get the first pick.

What a cheap and dirty hit. He should have hit the guy like a man. -ML

Wasn't it reported somewhere that the Isles have to decide by June 1st? And, aren't trades closed until some number fo days after the final playoff game?

Is Weber 6'4"? think he's played some LW?

You just got trolled! :)

Spinning down the "Sick Jersey Bro" alert. :(

I always figured ND in Buffalo was about the college football vacuum; much like the how the Cowboys are the team for anyone that doesn't have a local NFL team ND is big in Buffalo because there's nothing closer than Syracuse to root for. I never thought of the Irish angle before.

If, and it's a big if, there's any real traction to the league being upset about "tanking", this would be a red flag. And that's before we get into issues with roster size and whether some of these guys have NHL contracts.

Maybe we can get, d4ark to do it. (Didn't he do those awesome voice over videos a couple years ago?)

That's probably a bit strong, as well as fueling the case that the Sabres are tanking (although at this point it's moot). If he's healthy, he should play. The whole team has a nice long off-season to heal.
